Käymistavat
Käymistavat refers to the different methods or pathways by which fermentation occurs. Fermentation is a metabolic process that converts sugar to acids, gases, or alcohol. It occurs in yeast and bacteria, and also in oxygen-starved muscle cells, as in the case of lactic acid fermentation. The specific products and pathways of fermentation vary depending on the organism and the available substrates and conditions.
One common käymistapa is alcoholic fermentation, primarily carried out by yeasts. In this process, sugars like
Another significant käymistapa is lactic acid fermentation. This occurs in muscle cells during strenuous exercise when
There are other less common käymistavat as well, including propionic acid fermentation, which produces propionic acid,
